Chapter 073: The Man in the Heart
In late September, the envoys of the Qin State left quietly, and compared to the excitement and attention of the people when they came, such a departure was doubly bleak and cold.
When Qin Yi'an courted for relatives on behalf of Yelou Kingdom, the envoy group has been detained in the post house, although there is no restriction on freedom, but no matter where they go, there are people who follow them in the open, and they only cover up their traces in the dark.
Not long after, Qin Yi'an resigned and left, but was rejected by the Ministry of Rites for various reasons. Not long after, Murong Yao took Concubine Yue to escape the summer, and the reason of the Ministry of Rites was even more grandiose, bluntly saying that if Qin Yi'an and the others wanted to leave, they had to wait for His Majesty to return to Luan and resign in person.
They can only wait.
The weak do not have the right to choose and refuse.
Later, there was another child abuse case that shook the Great Prince. After Murong Yao returned to Beijing, he was delayed for a while because of this matter. By the time I was able to leave, the bitter cold of winter was approaching.
The capital is still scorching.
Due to the different types of medicinal herbs, the temperature requirements are also different, and in today's weather, except for a few medicinal herbs, the rest have to be placed in the space.
A few days ago, Yan Huo went to Wanshuge, and I don't know what method he used, so he borrowed books that basically couldn't be taken away. Knowing that she was worried about Wanshuge, he asked her to wait patiently, and after this time, he took her to Wanshuge.
There are more than a dozen boxes of treasures given by the emperor in the Qingli courtyard. Yan Hui did not value them because they were gifts from the emperor, and Xun Yu did not have any awe.
Thinking that Xun Yu likes to go barefoot in the house, the ladies in the palace are rare to find a piece of brocade, which is used as a bag, filled with soft and tight cotton wool, sewn into a cushion, and spread the entire bedroom. The glossy and huge Dongzhu, like small pebbles that can be seen everywhere, are scattered in the house and are kicked around. If you accidentally hit your foot, nine times out of ten you will end up with broken bones.
Under the soft couch that Xun Yu has always liked, there is a complete white tiger skin. Under the rocking chairs in the courtyard, there are also things of similar value. As for the women's ornaments, because Xun Yu didn't like these things, she left only a few simple and elegant ones, and threw the rest to Yue'er and let her take them and share them with her sisters.
These things cannot be sold, and they have no intention of respecting them, so they use them to play with them. They don't worry about being blamed by the emperor when they find out, why this thing was sent, and they know each other.
Even though Yue'er has watched it many times, every time she enters the house, she still has a feeling of heartache and wants to cry. She also knew very well that these things could not be sold, and it was not appropriate to use them as gifts for human exchange - if they dared to give them away, others might not dare to accept them, and the prince did not want to put these in the warehouse...... However, Yue'er has blood in her heart, they are poor!
The treasures placed in front of you can only be trampled, and this feeling is really terrifying.
Reining her thoughts, Yue'er began to report what had happened in.
Xun Yu raised his head, "What?" ”
Yue'er repeated, "More and more people are tracking down the origin of Zhu Yan Dan. Although pharmacies everywhere have closed, they have had little effect. The people who used to be pharmacy guys have all returned to the mountains. ”
"Why are you telling me this?"
"The prince commanded, the princess, that you can dispose of us at will, and all the news must be informed to you."
Xun Yu was stunned, his eyes wandered to the book, but his vision began to blur.
"Although the medicinal effect of each Zhuyan Pill is divided into thousands of parts, the effect is still very large. We have been flowing for a long time, and we sell them everywhere, but the supply is still in short supply. There are more and more people who want it, and the powerful occupy the vast majority. We tried our best to cover it up, but we ...... I got the news yesterday, it seems that because Concubine Yue likes this thing, the emperor is also curious about it, so he sent the Fuming Division to investigate. After a pause, Yue'er said: "In the whole world, there are few things that the Restoration Division is dispatched but it is not bad. ”
"Oh? What does Yan Huo want me to do? His heart kept sinking, and although Xun Yu understood what it meant, he didn't know why he felt this way.
Yue'er was at a loss, "The prince just ordered the slave maid to inform you of these news." ”
"That's it?"
"Yes." Yue'er asked uncertainly: "Princess, do you think that the prince sent a message to the slave and maid to you, and he wanted you to do something, but let the slave and maid hint because he was not good at speaking?" ”
"Isn't that right?"
Yue'er suddenly swelled with anger, but looking at her frowning and puzzled appearance, she felt helpless again. Compared with doubt, this kind of doubt makes people angry but also laughs and crys.
After thinking about it, Yue'er said: "Miss Xun, slaves and maids have been by the prince's side since childhood. What kind of person the prince used to be, I believe you have heard of it. The rumors are true, but they are also not true. His Royal Highness back then was more intelligent and wise, as well as more generous and gentle than rumored. He is talented, not only is he not proud of it, but he is humble and diligent. He was born illustrious, but he never looked down on anyone. When the county lord was alive, he often followed the county lord to Guangrentang, and occasionally replaced his husband to teach those orphans who had become helpless for various reasons to read and learn martial arts. He is like the sun, and wherever he goes, he shines and warms others. ”
Yue'er changed her name, her tone became more and more solemn, and the regret in it became heavier and heavier. "But after that incident...... Miss Xun, I don't know why you have changed, but the prince and the eldest lady have fallen into the current situation, you ...... Lots of credit! ”
Her eyes trembled, and her words were like sticky stagnant water in the endless sea of the Ten Thousand Dome Continent, once she got wet, she couldn't get rid of it. can only be forcibly dragged by it, suffocated to death with clarity.
"You may think that the prince is hiding something from you because he doesn't trust you." Yue'er shook her head, "It's not that he doesn't trust you, it's that we don't trust you." ”
Xun Yu: "...... you?" ”
"Yes. Miss Xun forgot, did you ruin Your Highness's face and body with a lie back then, and indirectly caused the eldest lady to go on the expedition as a daughter, and forever lose the right to be as happy as an ordinary woman? Yue'er sneered, "You have changed now, you have become a different person. It's okay to be with you, those who are not there can't trust you at all. ”
In other words, if it weren't for the prince's full strength to suppress it, they would kill you recklessly!
"Therefore, there are some things that the prince cannot tell you. It's not that I don't want to, but I can't. Miss Xun, after the accident back then, the prince has completely changed. Yue'er has been serving by the prince's side for so many years, and it can be seen that in the prince's heart, there was only the eldest lady, but now there is one more you. The slave begged Miss Xun, please have mercy on the poor prince and don't do anything to hurt him. ”
Yue'er knelt down. She has regrets, but she is not half unwilling. The direction of their life is Yan Hui, and no matter what kind of person Yan Huo becomes, this belief will not change. is also troubled by inherent concepts, although he can't enter the heart of the prince who is locked up, he doesn't feel that there is anything wrong.
The prince told them that if he followed him, he would treat them as relatives.
Whether they mean it or not, they are grateful and remember who they are. Therefore, if Xun Yu does anything to hurt the prince, they will wipe her out at any cost! Even if she is now terrifyingly strong.
Yue'er thought to herself: Xun Yu did that kind of thing back then, and they endured it all these years, just because she was an existence that still had use value but could be erased at any time. Now her identity has changed, both on the surface and in the heart of the prince, so even if there is the slightest injury, they can no longer endure it.
I just want ...... Miss Xun is still today's Miss Xun, don't change back to the old Xun language.
A shadow was thrown, and Yue'er was stunned and turned back sharply. I saw Yan Huo standing at the door expressionlessly, I don't know when he came, and I don't know how much he heard. Yue'er panicked and even despaired.
Her eyes widened, and she finally bowed her head in resignation, "See the prince." ”
Yan Huo crossed her before saying, "Go down." ”
Xun Yu tilted his head and looked out the window, holding an ancient book that had only read a few pages in his hand, not knowing what he was thinking.
I don't know how long it took, Xun Yu took the initiative to ask, "Has Murong Cuo's matter come to fruition?" ”
"Hmm. There will be a clear picture in a few days. Over the years, Murong Cuo has offended many people with his original family, and now he has committed public anger, and His Majesty can't cover it up if he has the heart. "Murong Yao has no intention of covering up." The original family and Murong Cuo are grasshoppers on the same rope, and in order to protect themselves, they can only try to protect him. But there are too many people who have fallen into the well this time, and if they want to protect him, the original family may also be greatly damaged. In addition to the child abuse case, Murong Cuo has also been uncovered for many crimes. During this time, the power that the eldest prince had managed with great difficulty was almost uprooted. ”
"What did you do?"
Yan Huo was silent for a moment, and said, "I just passed on the handwritten letter left by Uncle Lin back then." ”
Although many people don't believe it, Mr. Lin did die of depression that year. Before he died, the handwritten letter he wrote, every word was engraved with his resentment and unwillingness.
After the handwritten book was spread, some of the people who had received the kindness of Mr. Lin came out angrily because of the tragedy of the teacher's family, and they were even more furious after seeing the handwritten book. The other part of those who had received favors but were hesitant also quickly saw the situation clearly and joined the camp of the crusade against Murong Cuo.
No one doubts the authenticity of this handwriting, because of the ink treasure left by Mr. Lin back then, the handwriting is no different from the handwriting; Second, because the handwriting is true or not, it no longer matters in this matter.
Because of this handwritten letter, someone found out where Mr. Lin went angrily. In that place, he was mistreated by the magistrates, a lot of family assets were hollowed out, and the last year of a generation of talents was spent in the misery of not having enough to eat. Although it was found out that this was an unauthorized move by the magistrate in order to curry favor with Murong Cuo and the original family, it was not important, and the account was all attributed to Murong Cuo and the original family.
"That's it?"
Yan Hui said: "The world is famous, and this is enough. ”
Yan Huo does not doubt that some people are sincerely reckless for the Lin family, but more people want to use this to gain a good reputation for themselves. A literati can be talentless, but he cannot be nameless. It's ironic, but that's the reality.
"What is the Emperor going to do?"
"No accident, for the sake of the people's anger, he will be stripped of his status as a prince and imprisoned."
Xun Yu grasped the point, "What accident?" ”
"The original home. What happens to Murong Cuo depends on how much the original family is willing to pay for him. ”
